Join us for a special pre-fiesta edition of the Lonesome Lounge Sessions. A truly historic night in San Antonio. An evening with the legendary sons of conjunto: Flaco & Santiago Jimenez.
Five-time Grammy winner Flaco Jimenéz is the best known Norteño musician in the world. Almost single handedly, he took an obscure style of regional music from the Tex-Mex border and made it a part of the international world music scene. In a career spanning more than 50 years, he’s played every variation of American roots music imaginable: Norteño/Tejano, blues, rock, Hawaiian, folk, conjunto, and country.
Santiago Jiménez, Jr. has long preferred to model himself more closely on his father's lively melodic style, a style that is identified with the roots of the tradition. He made his first recording in 1958 at the age of seventeen, with his brother Flaco, and continues to record himself to this day. He receieved the National Medal of the Arts in 2015.
